The Armory Art Center brings so many opportunities not only to artists, but to art lovers. The monthly Art Salons led by Elle Schorr allow all of us to meet and better understand the creative process with internationally, nationally and locally based artists. Meet Nadine Saitlin on Tuesday, March 6th, as she discusses “Surface, Color and Form”. The public is invited. The Rickie Report shares the details and a few sneak peeks. Stop and look at the art…hear the creators…share the wonder!

There’s a $10 fee to attend. If you’d like to bring some snacks or drinks to share, that would be much appreciated. Feel free to share this announcement with friends.

* Exhibitions are open to the public

Art Salons continue to meet in the Armory Art Center Library on Tuesday nights, usually the first Tuesday of each month, 6:30 – 8:30 pm, from October through May. Salons are open to anyone who would like to participate in these lively discussions. There is a $10 donation for each salon.
